Club Holiday Gift Exchange?

Post by dsopoci »

Last year I participated in the Mini USA gift exchange where I was randomly paired with another Mini owner in the States. I was curious if anyone in the club would be interested in doing something like that. Maybe at the Toys For Tots gathering we could draw names or have names drawn before that and bring the gift to the Toys For Tots. Just wanted to throw the idea out there to see if anyone would be interested or any other ideas.

I was thinking for those who wanted to participate could put their name into a hat, draw names and go from there.

I really like this idea!

What if we put a price limit and drew names? Would that work?

Sounds good, if we can get an even amount of people lets go for it. What would the limit be, would $10-$20 be a comfortable amount? How about next to the persons name, the model of Mini that the persons motors in.

I really like the idea of the MINI Club Gift Exchange....it would be cool to draw names at the Toys For Tots event then setting up another cruise in at a restaurant somewhere to exchange a couple days before Christmas! :indi: :)

I like $20. In addition to their car, could we include maybe 3 things they like? (Chocolate, Minis, Chocolate... :lol: )

December is crazy busy for me. I'll vote to exchange at the Toys for Tots gathering. Don't know that I can make it to more than one shindig in December.

I work nights with a Monday and Tuesday off, I couldn't meet up on a cruise unless it was on one of those days or if it was in the late afternoon on the weekend.

Gift exchange sounds fun! I don't know if I can make the Toys for Tots. If not I can arrange for delivery if you all decide to exchange at the Bronx.
